Chapter 283 The new official takes office and jumps to the camp
The maids finally left, and only Li Siye, Mei'er and Li Twelve Niang were left in the main hall, and the dining atmosphere became quiet.
Twelve Niang's chopsticks paused in the air, she lay on the table and stared at Li Siye across from her.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw Twelve Niang's eyes, and his face felt a little hot for a moment. He bit his chopsticks and said, "Twelve Niang, let's eat. Why are you looking at me? Do you think I can eat enough?"
She lowered her head, traced circles on the table with her fingers, and whispered softly: "I don't think I'm full, but when I can't see you, I feel empty in my stomach and empty in my heart."
Li Meier's eyes widened. She wanted to laugh in embarrassment but didn't know how. She felt goosebumps falling from her body, so she had to hug the bowl with both hands, bury her face in it, and quietly twist it to the side.
Li Siye choked for a moment, then coughed twice and said: "Don't flirt with me all the time while eating. Ahem, today we have a dinner at home. Actually, we want to talk about something serious. Tiaodang camp is not in the city, but in Baima outside the city. It’s by the river, so I may not be at home often in the future.”
"You don't live at home?" Li Meier pouted while holding the bowl: "Since you don't live at home, what's the difference between living in Qiuci City and Chang'an?"
Li Siye knocked on the table and solemnly declared: "I am not at home often, but I still have to come back every three to five days. When I am not at home, you and Twelve Niangs have to maintain this family well. Don't always be there. I’m bored at home, but there are still many places to go in Kucha City, and I can also go out with the neighbors a lot.”
Twelve Niang raised her head happily and nodded affirmatively: "Please don't worry, sir, I will take good care of my family and Mei'er."
Li Siye sighed helplessly, not knowing whether to shake his head or nod. He held his chopsticks and thought for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Twelve Mother, do you have a name?"
"Name?" Twelve Niang was stunned for a moment and said, "Twelve Niang, isn't that my name?"
"Twelve Niangs, this is just a nickname."
Twelve Niang thought for a moment with the end of her chopsticks in her mouth, and immediately replied: "Master often called me Aruo when I was a child."
"Li Ruo? OK, I'll call you Li Ruo from now on." Li Siye patted his belly and stood up, saying to Mei'er and Twelve Niangs: "Mei'er, Li Ruo, I'm going back to the room first, you guys eat slowly."
The Twelfth Mother looked at Li Siye's back and poked the bottom of the bowl with her chopsticks as if she was angry: "Li Ruo, Li Ruo is a good person, can't he be called A Ruo?"
Li Mei'er got goosebumps all over her body again. She leaned towards Twelve Niang with a smile and asked in a low voice: "Twelve Niang, do you want to get married to my brother? Do you have to go to the church to get married before you can have children?" If I can’t go to church, will I not have children?”
Twelve Niang's face suddenly turned red. She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Don't ask me about this kind of thing. Ask your brother."
After she said that, she put down her chopsticks, stood up and ran back to her room quickly. Li Meier looked at Twelve Niang's back in surprise and found that he really couldn't understand her. She shouldn't be ashamed when she should be ashamed. When I was embarrassed, I felt ashamed.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Li Siye wore black hammer armor and rode a black horse to the Baima River. The Kucha Tiaodang Camp was stationed around an earthen fort on the riverside. The entire military camp built a wall around the earthen fort along the river, and the gate of the barracks and There are warning watchtowers built by cutting down trees at the four corners of the wall.
He rode his horse and approached the warning range of the watchtower. The soldiers on the tower also noticed the general on the horse, and quickly called the soldiers on duty to lift their horses, open the camp door, and then went to call the three captains.
Li Siye dismounted at the gate of the camp and walked in with the black fat man in hand. Three armored officers had already run out of the bunker. Judging from the looseness of their armor when they ran, it seemed that they had put it on temporarily and urgently. One of them was running.
Bian put the bag in his hand on his head, while the other person was still tying the straps on his shoulder armor.
The three of them ran to Li Siye with their breaths still uncertain, bowed their heads and crossed their hands, saying: "Qiu Luan, Liu Long and Zhao Congfang of humble rank, pay homage to General Li!"
Li Siye held the riding whip in his hand and paced back and forth in front of the three people. He deliberately remained silent for a moment to heighten the atmosphere, and then said: "Raise your head."
The three of them crossed their hands and slowly raised their heads. Qiu Luan's face was covered with chins like black manes, and their roots were as strong as porcupine quills. Liu Long's face was brown and red, and he had a high nose and deep eyes. These were indeed the appearance characteristics of Turkic people. If placed in Zhao Congfang's case, he had already
I've seen it before.
"Today, let's add a camp rule." He raised his whip and pointed at the guard tower and said: "From now on, whenever a strange face approaches the camp, no matter what horse he rides, what armor he wears, or what cloak he wears, his name must be reported.
Shangguan. If you don't comply, you will be warned from fifty steps away and shot within thirty steps."
"Here!"
Li Siye walked towards the camp, with the three of them following closely behind him. He swept his eyes from the rows of built houses and saw the queue of soldiers patrolling along the camp. There was no blind spot in every aspect of the camp. Sgt.
They walked, sat and lay in an orderly manner. It seemed that his predecessor was indeed good at leading troops.
The soldiers he brought from Diaochuan City, as well as Tian Zhen, Duan Xiushi and others were all stationed in the barracks on the slope of the earthen castle, occupying the commanding heights of the camp. At this moment, they were all lined up by the roadside, waiting for Li Siye to take office.
Li Siye's expressionless gaze swept across their faces, and he did not show any particular affection to anyone. He just nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the earthen fort.
Judging from the mental outlook of the soldiers he brought from Diaohuan City, they were far superior to the soldiers from Kucha Tiaodang Camp, which was enough to make him full of confidence.
The prison officer's tent was located in the earthen fort, which had an inner room and an outer hall for accommodation. There was a leopard picture painted on the wall in the center of the outer hall, and there were several desks in front. There were felt mats on both sides of the stage, and during the meeting
There is space for officers to sit.
Li Siye sat down in front of the table, stretched out his hand and said to the three of them: "You guys can sit down too."
They crossed their hands and thanked Li Siye, and sat on both sides according to their previous rankings.
"The second camp rule will be decided today. Every month, soldiers in the army will compete in martial arts. Everyone below the team leader can participate to determine the winner and loser. There are four categories: horse fighting, infantry fighting, riding archery, and infantry archery. Then,
The top three with comprehensive scores will receive generous financial rewards. As for the amount of the rewards, we will decide later."
"Every team, brigade, and regiment in the camp will conduct confrontation drills every month. The commander of the team, brigade, and regiment with the lowest performance will deduct 20% of his monthly salary and award it to the top two teams, brigades, and regiments."
After he finished speaking, he put his hands on the desk, lowered his head, stared at the three captains below and asked, "Do you have any objections to my new camp rules?"
The three of them lowered their heads and looked at each other with different expressions on their faces. After a moment of silence, they raised their heads and crossed their hands and said, "General Qi, I have no objections."
"Since there are no objections, everyone will go down and convey the new camp regulations to everyone in the group. Starting from this month, I will test how capable you are."
They stood up from the carpet and bowed to Li Siye: "I'll take my leave."
The three people walked out of the bunker and showed their emotions. Zhao Congfang worriedly said to Qiu Luan and Liu Long: "Tell me, you two, it's okay for the new official to put down three fires after taking office, but this fire is too burning."
It's so prosperous. It's acceptable for him to let the soldiers compete in martial arts, but he also allows us to lead the soldiers to practice, and also deducts 20% of the loser's salary. Doesn't this force us to fight against each other? Swordsmanship
If you don’t have eyes, you could easily lose your life.”
Qiu Luan pulled the mane on his chin with both hands and nodded: "That's true, but I'm not afraid. No matter how we train among the three groups, I will never be at the bottom."
Colonel Qiu laughed twice and walked down the slope, leaving the stunned Zhao Congfang behind.
He quickly asked Liu Long: "Liu Lieutenant, what do you think we should do? We won't really fight head-on with swords and guns. If so, wouldn't the brothers be hurt a lot?"
Liu Long looked ahead indifferently, perhaps thinking about something, and suddenly said: "If you are afraid of injury, you can use wooden knives and wooden guns, and you can also remove the arrows from crossbows. Although I don't agree, I don't object either."
After he finished speaking, he left straight away, leaving Zhao Congfang with a confused look on his face. He thought for a long time, then turned around and looked into the castle and murmured: "You said you don't care, isn't this still a trick on me? Come up with it."
